The example of serious problem is that someone who saw and accident, and then he called people to ask them to help the victim, in other hand, manipulative can be seen or propaganda likes advertisement. Usually, advertisement language does not seem different from common language has power to persuade everyone who reads or sees the advertisement. In the field, it is common to find advertisement, are familiar in society, or become familiar in society advertisement of the products can be influencing for consumer

Lowe (1993: 12) defines that, advertisement is use to inform public and attract public attention t certain product or service according to Lowes statement, language in advertisement is not only informative, but also persuasive. In other words, advertisement is a promoting certain products or services. As a result, in order to attract publics attention, advertisements usually have their own stylistic.

advertisement should have three parts, introduction, content, and the last part (Lowe: 199). Those parts are easy to be found in written advertisement like in magazine or newspaper or watch in television. The stylistic is build from diction. In analyzing this research, the writer tries to understand more about the stylistic in advertisement, and focused on semantics point of view. 1.3.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE 2.1. Stylistic Stylistic is part of macro linguistic. Language style is study about

choosing dictions, it is appropriate or not in order using certain words, phrases, or clauses at certain condition. It may also covers about language hierarchy, individual choice that includes discourse at whole and rhymes implicit meaning. Linguistic dictionary (1993) defined language style into three types; first, applying language features in speaking or writing. Second, language style is applied in order to create certain effects to listener or reader. Third, language style is speaker or writer characteristic in speaking or writing. Therefore, the discussion about stylistic in advertisements will related to context of language and also the situation context, that is the advertisement. Basically, analyzing stylistic is aimed to get a list of differentiation or idiosyncrasy of the languages elements. The analyzing of stylistic is able to explain by referred to its situational variable. A linguist will study about extra linguistic context to build situational fact of utterance. It is done to get understanding about stylistic, which analyze, to find specifications and differentiations of it.

2.2 Advertisement 2.2.1 Function and purpose advertisement Based on purpose and context, the advertisement can be divided into two groups, they are advertisement on information and commercial advertisement. The first one deal with information about vacancy, condolence, government warning society, etc (Omar: 1984). Commercial advertisements include activities related to selling products, services, or facilities. The function of advertisement is to support the marketing of products or services. Purpose of marketing are to introduce something new, to stimulate the sale of product or service, to defend the marketing, to face competition in marketing or trading, etc (Omar, 1984:2). Target of cigarette advertisement is consumer and smoker, not for children. Adult people can understand about the product by advertisements in media. Here, advertiser makes audience to do action for the product, that is buying the product and not forget to have product. Then the audience will memorize this order on his/her mind indirectly and buy the product. 2.2.2 Headline Function of headline is to attract consumer. Beside, headline is also functioning to build consumers interest on a product or service. Therefore, Barton (1951: 157-158) tells that a good advertisement should has those condition: attractive; impulse people to have interest; built a desire of consumer; able to make consumer trust about what is advertised; and able to make consumer takes an action. All these conditions can be research although by using language. From the statement above, it can be understood that headline should be

arranged well to be able to attract and persuade reader or consumer about the product in the advertisement. An advertisement should be able to make audience read it. Before the audience able to read it, the audience has to able to look at the advertisement. In order to have potential to be looked, the advertisement be attractive and can flag the audience to see it. These all can be reached only if headline of is good enough to be in such condition. To be in the condition, the headline has to be arranged very well. 2.2.3 Principle Making Headline Process of making headline is important part in advertisements existence. If it failed to be attractive, the advertisement will be also failed persuade consumers. So, it is based on human needs (Barton, 1951: 164-165). To be attractive, statement of the advertisement should be able to make reader do a reaction. To make the reader react, statement has to be related to hobby, need, desire and problem that are faced by the reader. It means that the advertisement should states the product. Barton next explains that there are two ways of making an attractive headline. The first one is stressing on what thing have to be said or presented. The second one is stressing on how it is said or presented (manner). The first way is focused on the idea or information. On the other hand, the second is focused on the manner, how the way it is formed. Usually, cigarette advertisements use the second way is stressing on how said or presented (manner) Example: LA light enjoy aja The example above is an advertising of LA light cigarette. This product actually has many competitors. So, to make it attractive than other, and to make

reader interesting in looking the advertisement and buying the product, it emphasizes on how the way inform the product. It is ordinary information. It has affectiveness through meaning and how the meaning is formed. 2.3. Theory of Meaning If we wants analyze meaning in figurative language we must have any basic about semantic. Semantic study will led us, how to analyze and interpret meaning in a discourse till we have an image about the meaning vividly. Leech (1974:11) said that semantic is a study about interpreting meaning in communication discourse. Moreover, Leech explain that interpreting meaning in focus concern in conceptual, connotative, stylistic, affective, reflective, collective, and thematic meanings. State with Leech opinion, Lyons (1977:1) said that interpreting meaning can state with language cultural context such the origin of the expression and the development the expression in society. In conclusion, analyzing in figurative language may not loss of semantic study that covered the applying meaning in discourse context. 2.3.1. Denotative and Connotative Leech (1974:10-15) clarified that denotative is universal meaning of a symbol. All people around the world have similar consensus about the meaning of that symbol. It is the basic meaning of the symbol before affected by development of language. The ratio meaning is only one, it only have one meaning at whole. Example: Color white have meaning as holly thing, black symbol of death, red for brave and so on.

Different social community may have different meaning to interpret a symbol. The distinct happen because of community consensus. Social character may attach to denote the meaning. The connotative meaning may have different in different situation because it possible for interpreter add his emotional or attitude into the interpretation. 2.4. Theoretical Frameworks This research is kind of semantic analysis concern on meaning in cigarette advertisement. The conceptual framework of the research could be drowned in the foam of following diagram. It should be stated that this diagram is just kind of theoretical formulation of conducting the research. Other basic operational works or ideas could be seen in essay form of the proposal.
